Conformity: Why be different when you can all be the same

I like this - the message is a good counter to the 'Individuality' one more ususally espoused, and the photo is very pretty. A well presented poster.

Funny, good photography, and well presented - although a little more black border at the sides and top would be good.

I haven't a clue what any of the message means, but it is a very well presented poster!

I would have placed the violinist on the right hand third rather than centrally. otherwise a pleasing portrait.

I can see that this would appeal to the client - it captures guests, bridesmaids, bride and father, all without being cluttered. as with some of the other photos it does seem a tad noisy for a professional wedding photo.

This is very pretty and has captured the emotion of the moment perfectly.

I would crop this more tightly - certainly crop out the bulk of the forearm at the bottom of the frame.

I much prefer this one to that of the girl sitting on the bench. The blacks have detail throughout and the skin tones seem better. the pose and composition are also more pleasing, although it does look rather like she doesn't know quite what to do with her hand that is reaching out of the frame! I am quite sure that she would be pleased with this portrait.

You asked for some critiques of your recent uploads, and advice on what you could do differently.

With this photo you have captured a pretty expression, and the girl is in a pleasing and natural pose. Unfortunately the way it has been framed feels a little haphazard; I perhaps would have preferred more of the arm in shot. The skin has gathered under her armpit, which isn't flattering - it may be that you can do a bit of cosmetic readjustment in photoshop, although it would probably be easier to avoid it altogether through different framing. The three other things that stand out to me are the noise, particularly on the arm nearest the bench back; a section of the hair has lost detail; and the white patch of bokeh that enters through one ear and passes out the other.

This all sounds very negative - it isn't meant as such. Take from it what is useful to you, and discard the rest!
